In reply to Intesting Study On MAOI's, posted by Phillipa on January 12, 2009, at 0:59:16
> Found this study on physicians that prescribe MAOI's . May be the reason so few do. As none That I aware of around here does. Have heard of one that does in special circumstances. Education is knowlege. I form no opinion on this topic thought it might be of interest to anyone that would like to take one and can't find a doc to prscribe. Kind of a long article. Phillipa

Because they're potentially fatal, even for the heroic stories that people have had success on here. Everybody is individual.I couldn't possibly face cardiac arrest with my vegetarian diet and there's no conclusive justification for MAOIs in my condition.
I was extremely skeptical about neuroleptics, which have had some iatrogenic bad results, but those are really rare ones. I am exceptionally sensitive.
For others, either class of agent previously described is either necessary or a last choice of resort.
I don't believe in going straight to MAOIs like some people have advocated -- I understand that the struggles they have been through have led to MAOIs but they're not a drug of first choice and neither are neuroleptics either.
Everyone is individual on here, one has to realize that.
